• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Doing some projects with my son this weekend on his RM125 ... not Husky but thought someone here might be able to give some advice - slide is perfect except for two spots at top of slide, they really don't look like areas of wear, rather they look like areas where the slide did not get fully chromed or maybe pitting in the chrome?, first picture is not so good but you can see the copper color showing through ...

The slide is smooth as silk when opening and closing the throttle / any concerns, need to replace slide ?

odd, i have seen many slides where the plating has worn thru from dirt/age/wear but that looks like a defect. as long as its smooth to touch i would certainly not worry about it as it wont affect anything. ive never seen a single pock mark like that tho, especially when rest of slide looks almost mint.
perhaps if it kept spreading you could swap in a new slide but its fine if it stays the way it is, imho. many have run slides looking much worse, lol.
